The new 41,764-square-foot store also includes an in-house butcher and prepared foods ready to eat and three indoor restaurants such as Delimanjoo—serving Korean favorites, a noodle house called Midori, and a new concept called L'Ami Bakery offering a wide array of French and Korean sweets.

The store is the chain's 10th location in New York, the first Westchester Hmart is located at 271 N. Central Ave. in Hartsdale.

The “H” stands for Han Ah Reum, a Korea phrase that means “one arm full of groceries.”s
